Hi All, Just a quick musing -- While minding my own business listening to a few podcasts tonight preparing for Tuesday nights net, featuring Michael Kalter, W8CI PR Manager for Hamvention, I included a recent RAIN Report (on the insistance of fellow Ham Information Service guru, Hap Holly, KC9RP founder of the RAIN Report). I got my information - then found a lot more. Back on March 7th's RAIN Report, TIPSnet was mentioned by Rich Mosessen W2VU while discussing his Feb '09 editorial 'Zero Bias' for CQ Magazine. He discussed in the 15min interview about the new 'networks' VoIP and the rest we know and how they link worldwide - if you already heard it listen again -- its what we all do folks it validates what we do each week and the thank you's that are accorded to the ones who make it happen. Think about it.. Here is the LINK :: http://www.therainreport.com/rainreport_archive/rainreport-3-7-2009.mp3 Thanks Hap and Rich for all of your help. Thanks to all the repeater, conference server, trustees, sysops and everyone else who make not only TIPS, but the rest of all we do happen much at no cost to anyone but themselves. It is a network of love. 73 Anne West K1STM TIPSnet NetManager John West N1IWT TIPSnet Program & Publicity Manager www.tipsnet.org Email: tipsnet@xxxxxxxxxxx Fostering International Friendship Through Amateur Radio © TIPSnet meets every Tuesday from 7pm - 8pm local time (EST) / 2300z on several repeaters throughout New England, including our hub the SPARC Repeater System, West haven and Durham, CT.
